Should I leave nursing?

Nurses General Nursing

Hi everyone,

I've been doing med surg nursing for almost a year and a half and have noticed I'm not very good with critical thinking. The fast pace of Med Surg work is also hurting me physically and pyschologically.

I would like to move to some other type of nursing but EVERYTHING seems to involve critical thinking skills which as I said is not my forte.

I am good at teaching but then there would be the need to do clinicals. I am good at troubleshooting technology (use to work in computers), and at interfacing with patients/families etc.

I'm also a very good team player.

I'm really in need of getting out of my med / surg state soon before things go REALLY badly (already had one med error that was due to a very stupid thing on my part).

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated...
